Let’s start with a few deals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Brex has a new $500 gift card bonus<\/a> when signing up for one or both of a new Brex card or Brex business checking account in July. To be eligible, you’ll need to spend either $2,500 on your Brex rewards debit card or deposit $50,000 within the first 30 days. A few notes:

    – Brex doesn’t like sole proprietorships
    – Brex likes tech companies, especially venture funded companies
    – Brex has interesting transfer partners and spend multiples, but transfer ratios aren’t 1:1

    Brex can be down to clown as long as you tend to behave like a regular customer.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The United Airlines shopping portal has promotion for 2,500 bonus miles with $600+<\/a> spend through August 9.

    Giftcards.com remains an easy option, and     as of this writing it’s 2x-3x on the portal too<\/a>. (Thanks to SideShowBob233)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and other Just4U stores have 12x points earning on DoorDash<\/a> gift cards through Saturday. Annoyingly, the maximum denomination is $200 per gift card.

    There might be a reason that a churning and manufactured spend blog is writing about DoorDash, and it’s not just about lowering the cost of expensive food.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Citi has a targeted offer for $75 off of $400+<\/a> when booking hotels through its portal. This offer stacks with annual Citi hotel offers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    And follow with some mildly interesting notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Wyndham temporarily increased its transfer limit to Caesars Rewards<\/a> to 60,000 annually through September 11.
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. American Express is requiring re-enrollment for Hertz President’s Circle status<\/a> for many Business Platinum cardholders. You’ve got until the end of 2026, but I’d knock it out right now<\/a> and forget about it.
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. The Citi ThankYou Mastercard, formerly the Shop Your Way Rewards card, will no longer have access to transfers to JetBlue<\/a> on September 20. To make up for it though, expect new targeted spend offers tomorrow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
